03:15At the United Nations, Joe Biden warns against a war in Lebanon.
03:20The American president estimates that it is time to finalize an agreement to cease fire in Gaza.
03:24A generalized war is in no one's interest.
03:27Even with the escalation of tensions, a diplomatic solution is still possible, says Joe Biden.
03:32His last speech at the UN tribune, Joe Biden intervenes while Israel continues to strike Lebanon and maintains its military offense in the Gaza Strip.
03:43Lebanon is on the brink of chaos, warned this Tuesday by the UN Secretary-General in front of the United Nations General Assembly
03:49who fears that the country will become another Gaza.
03:52The Palestinian enclave is a permanent nightmare that threatens to bring the entire region into chaos,
03:57starting with Lebanon.

04:04said the UN chief in front of the 193 member states of the UN.
04:11Jordan will never be an alternative country for Palestinians,
04:15said King Abdullah II.
04:18The Jordanian sovereign warns against a forced displacement of the population by Israel,
04:23which constitutes a war crime.
04:25Let me be very clear, this will never happen.
04:28We will never accept the forced displacement of Palestinians, which is a war crime,
04:32he said at the UN tribune.
04:34The Jordanian monarch denounced the war in Israel in the Gaza Strip
04:38and called on the international community to join a large rescue operation
04:41to provide food, drinking water, medicines and other vital products to the Gaza Strip,
04:48which is still besieged by Israel.
04:52Bank El Marebe maintains that the director's rate has changed to 2.75%
04:56if some observers expected a decrease in the director's rate,
05:00like the decision taken by the FED.
05:02The Council indicates a continuation of the resumption of secondary and tertiary activities.
05:07Inflation has evolved at moderate levels since the beginning of the year
05:11due to the increase in food prices.

05:22A coup d'envoi from the British Workers' Party Congress.
05:26Keir Starmer tries to inspire a bit of optimism and reassure his supporters.
05:30He assures that the light is at the end of the tunnel.
05:33The state of grace will not last long for the head of government,
05:36who came to power after the victory of the Labour Party in the last legislative elections.
05:41For 15 years, the Labour Party had not held an annual congress while in government.
05:50The Tunisian Network for Liberties and Rights organized a demonstration
05:55to protest against a revision of the electoral law.
05:58A review protested two weeks before the presidential scrutiny.
06:02Explanations with Najwa Becha.
06:07Tunisians demonstrated this Sunday in the center of Tunis
06:11to protest against an initiative presented by 34 deputies
06:16on the modification of the electoral law.
06:19These deputies suggest that in the event of a scrutiny,
06:22the approval of the presidential election should now be registered
06:26by the Tunisian Court of Appeal and not by the administrative court,
06:31as is currently the case.
06:33For the demonstrators, this modification represents a threat to the state of law
06:37and to the credibility of the electoral process.
06:42The Tunisian Network for Liberties and Rights,
06:45which is a network made up of twenty associations
06:49and ten political parties,
06:53which was formed two weeks ago,
06:55has judged it useful to protest today
06:58against the project of reform of the electoral law
07:02which was presented by a group of deputies
07:0415 days before the elections,
07:06which is considered a denial of democracy and justice.
07:11We do not change the rules of the law 15 days before an election.
07:18On the other hand, in a joint statement,
07:21the directors of the campaigns of the two presidential candidates,
07:25Ayeshe Zamel and Zohail Marzewi,
07:27announced their intention to form a joint legal team
07:31to take action against the law
07:35if it were to be adopted during the current electoral process.
07:42This is an initiative that is subject to the electoral process
07:46and mainly targets presidential candidates.
07:50In coordination with associations, lawyers and jurists,
07:54we have decided to initiate legal proceedings against this initiative.
08:00This initiative follows the recent decision
08:04made by the administrative tribunal to send back
08:07three presidential candidates after their rejection by the electoral commission.
08:13This initiative also intervenes in the context of real constraints
08:19of the contestation of the results of the elections.
08:23The opposition still claims the rejection of any violation of the electoral law
08:26and considers that any modification of the law during this period
08:31would lead to unfair and unacceptable results.
08:35From Tunisia, Najwa Bechat, Omedia.
08:39Opening in Dakar of the International Energy Summit.
08:43This meeting, which brought together experts,
08:45aims to reflect on the energy transition in Africa.
08:49This is a report by Regis Moukila and Cheikh Ndao.
08:52What energy transition for a sustainable development of Africa?
08:57This is the central theme of the International Summit
09:00organized by the Amicale des Diplômés de l'Ecole Polytechnique de Thiès.
09:08To lead an ambitious energy policy,
09:11Senegal will have to strengthen its collaboration with the private sector.
09:15The Senegalese representatives and associations
09:19represent dozens of business leaders
09:23very active in the Senegalese private sector.
09:27I would like to take advantage of this forum
09:30to invite you to promote and facilitate
09:35a greater collaboration between national and international investors.
09:41Faced with these challenges, the Senegalese authorities
09:44plan to explore the cohabitation between fossil fuels and renewable energy.
09:49The goal is to ensure a progressive transition
09:52while guaranteeing access to electricity at a lower cost.
09:56The strategic position of Senegal is to use all of its fossil fuels
10:02to allow citizens to have access.
10:05And of course, we must realize the energy mix
10:07because we are in a country that is almost 11 months under the sun.
10:12We are in a country with 1,750 km of coastline
10:15where the wind at the height of the ocean is 60 km per hour.
10:19So we can also produce wind power.
10:22To achieve this transition, Senegal must join
10:25national efforts and international cooperation.
10:28Universal access to electricity remains a distant goal
10:32for rural areas where 40% of the population is still not enlightened.
10:37Joint collective intelligence and knowledge sharing
10:41are the essential levers to achieve this transformation.
10:45The ecological transition, including the energy transition,
10:49is not only a challenge for our time,
10:52but also a unique opportunity to build a resilient, inclusive,
10:57respectful economy for our environment.
11:00The Minister of Environment and Ecological Transition
11:03remains attentive to the orientations
11:06drawn from this important forum.
11:09This meeting will help strengthen the skills of Senegal's engineers
11:14to better meet the expectations of the population,
11:17but also of the decision-makers.
11:20In Senegal, the regional office of the FAO
11:23organized the 20th session of the
11:25Continental Fishing and Aquaculture Committee in Africa.
11:28The objective is to explore the opportunities
11:30that exist thanks to these forms of sustainable fishing
11:33in order to meet the challenge of food sovereignty.
11:36This is a report by Daoud Asso and Moussad Dier.
11:39This is Dakar that the regional office of the FAO
11:42chose to host the 20th session
11:45of the Continental Fishing and Aquaculture Committee in Africa.
11:49These sessions constitute sustainable solutions
11:53in the face of the scarcity of natural resources.
11:56Today, we have to find other alternatives.
12:00Continental fishing and aquaculture
12:04are the safe ways to achieve food security
12:08and food sovereignty,
12:11which is one of the objectives of the project
12:14and the benchmark of Senegal's public policies.
12:17The FAO also supports African states
12:20in their public policies
12:23regarding the attainment of their food sovereignty.
12:26We work a lot with countries, for example,
12:30to update their legal and economic environment
12:34in order to promote aquaculture.
12:38This is one of our strong points,
12:41because we are above all an organization of knowledge
12:44before even being an organization of funding.
12:47This is the area we work in,
12:50but above all, we work at the request of the countries.
12:53It is up to the countries to express their needs
12:56and identify the areas in which they think
12:58there is a comparative advantage.
13:01Senegal has had an agency in charge of aquaculture since 2006.
13:06Despite all this, aquaculture production
13:09is still struggling to meet expectations,
13:12so the commitment of the current Senegalese authorities
13:15has further developed the sector.
13:18Not even later than during the current trip to China,
13:22the Director General of the Aquaculture Agency
13:25was in the delegation,
13:28and we were able to forge partnerships with the Chinese,
13:31who will come to Senegal to invest in aquaculture.
13:34I will also show you the importance of this sub-sector,
13:37both in aquaculture and in continental fishing.
13:40Not later than two weeks ago,
13:43the Prime Minister organized an inter-ministerial meeting
13:46on food security and food sovereignty.
13:49There were many questions during this meeting,
13:52organized by the Ministry of Agriculture,
13:55about the importance of aquaculture
13:58and continental fishing.
14:01The United Nations Committee on Food and Agriculture
14:05aims to promote sustainable management
14:08of continental fishing resources
14:11and aquaculture in Africa.
14:14Thanks to cooperation, research,
14:17regulation and capacity enhancement.
14:20In Niger, strong rainfall
14:22forced the authorities to postpone school return.
14:25Several schools were damaged by the floods,
14:28affecting the eight regions of the country,
14:31and in Niam, the damage is clearly visible,
14:34as our correspondent Jean-Gibril William reports.
14:37His house outside is already under water.
14:40It is in this small hut that Assi Moumouni
14:43has found refuge for a few days.
14:46But for this octogenarian, the threat is still present.
14:49In the month of September,
14:52heavy rains hit the Nigerian coast,
14:55and with it the inexorable rise of the Niger river.
14:58I have already lost my house,
15:01and I also risk losing this hut.
15:04The rains become stronger and stronger
15:07as the season should come to an end.
15:10I have been living here for 50 years
15:13and I have never seen this.
15:16A season of long-term rain
15:19that threatens the banks of the river,
15:22real seas that cross the streets,
15:25flooded dwellings and for some,
15:28collapsed under the weight of the waters.
15:31Consequences of a flood that some
15:34already consider unprecedented.
15:37I am 66 years old and I have never seen
15:40so much rain in a single season.
15:43My house is completely flooded
15:46and many others in our neighborhood
15:49are threatened to collapse.
15:52It is difficult to go to work
15:55as the roads are flooded with water.
15:58It rains almost every day
16:01and it can last for several hours.
16:04An exceptional rainfall in terms of quantity
16:07is also the observation made by the director
16:10of the Nigerian meteorology.
16:13According to Lawan Kachilou,
16:16the season of rain still ongoing
16:19would have already recorded several records
16:22of 500,000 meters.
16:25500,000 meters is the rain of a season.
16:28This is an exception.
16:31In addition to what they are used to,
16:34they have 500,000 meters.
16:37I think this is the trend we will have
16:40in our neighborhood.
16:43According to a last report published this Saturday,
16:46322 people would have lost their lives
16:48during the last 4 months.
16:51The school return planned for October 2
16:54has been postponed to October 28
16:57due to damage caused in many schools.
17:00Now a word on this meteorological alert
17:03of level of orange vigilance.
17:06The southern region of Morocco is affected
17:09by thunderstorms accompanied by hail
17:12and gusts of wind.
17:15The General Directorate of Meteorology
17:18and the Ministry of Environment
17:21are working on this report.
17:24A new human report following the accident
17:27of the bus carried by the crews in Ouattata.
17:3010 people died and 7 are still missing.
17:33This is the new report provided by
17:36the Provincial Health and Social Protection Delegation.
17:39According to the NAAG database,
17:42all stakeholders have mobilized
17:45all human logistical resources
17:48for the preparation of the international festival
17:51of women's film in Salé.
17:54This 17th edition is held in the presence
17:57of emblematic figures of the 7th art,
18:00the world of culture and the media.
18:03The festival aims to be an opportunity
18:06for women filmmakers of all origins
18:09to share their experiences
18:12and discuss the condition of women
18:15through cinematographic achievements.
18:18A Moroccan and African journalist,
18:21Belahi Bouimide, left us last night at the age of 66.
18:24The journalist and cartoonist is one of the
18:27sequels of the long struggle against the disease.
18:30After the deterioration of his health,
18:33the native of Jadida had started his career in El-Bayen
18:36before spending his long years at Radio Mars.
18:39In addition to writing and radio,
18:42he had a great passion for caricature
18:45and also organized several exhibitions
18:48for women.
18:51The festival will be held in Rabat
18:54from October 11th to 17th.
18:57Artexplora offers a rich and varied program
19:00combining performances, conversations,
19:03projection of films and concerts,
19:06developments with smiles and smiles.
19:09The theme of this multidisciplinary festival
19:12offered by Artexplora,
19:15a free and itinerant cultural festival
19:18in the Mediterranean until 2026.
19:21Initiated by the Artexplora Foundation,
19:24the festival is deployed on board the boat museum
19:27Le Catamaran, a boat that can accommodate
19:30up to 2,000 visitors per day with immersive experiences.
19:33The museum just arrived yesterday in Tangier.
19:36We throw the anchor here until Sunday, September 29th.
19:39It's a very moving moment.
19:42It's the first visit to the African coasts of the museum
19:45after Malta, Marseille and Venice.
19:48There are important crowds coming for the musical programming.
19:51There are events on board the boat
19:54and events on land all day long
19:57until 10 p.m.
20:00Artexplora is an innovative and bold proposal
20:03that challenges the classic formats of presentation
20:06and representation of art.
20:09This boat museum with exceptional dimensions
20:12of 47 meters long, 18 meters wide
20:15and a mast of 55 meters with sails
20:18is a true federator.
20:21It's a boat where you can discover
20:24an immersive experience of sound,
20:27hacking of exhibition panels,
20:30an exhibition that we co-created with the Louvre Museum.
20:33So we come to discover the works,
20:36the masterpieces of the Louvre in a digital way.
20:39Then we have other exhibitions of contemporary art,
20:42a pavilion also with photos,
20:45videos with artists from the Arab world.
20:48There is also a meeting experience
20:51with very popular music,
20:54Haïta, Amazigh,
20:57and a much more contemporary version of the DJ-7.
21:00So it's really a big popular party
21:03here on the port of Tangier.
21:06Until the fall of 2026,
21:09this festival will visit a total of 20 ports
21:12across 15 countries in the Mediterranean,
21:15a symbol of escape and discovery.
21:18The festival connects worlds, cultures and actors.
21:21This is the end of this newscast.
